Pin It


HELLO!!
I'm stopping in to share the New Paper Sweeties Inspiration #54 Challenge-April 2017!! I decided to make a SWEET Spring/Easter Gift Bag!! I just had to use the New Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Stamp Set and the Coordinating Keep Calm and Drink Coffee Sweet Cuts along with a Sentiment from the Tackle Life One Cup at a Time Stamp Set and the Bunny and Carrots from the Bunny Hugs & Kisses Stamp Set!! The Flowers are from the At the Beach Stamp Set!!

I used a Mama Elephant Gift Bag Die Set to create my Gift Bag!! Then I used ALL of my Stamped and Embossed Images that I colored using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and Fussy Cut to Decorate the Front of the Gift Bag!! I added some White Gel Pen Details and some Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen for some added texture and interest!! I just LOVE the way it turned out!! =)

Some of these YUMMY Sugar Cookies will find themselves inside this SWEET Bag along with a Gift Card to our Local Coffee Shop!!  =)

                           
  What do you think!!??
SO FUN for any type of Gift that you may need for anyone SPECIAL in your Life right!!??
                    I hope you'll stop by to see what the rest of the AMAZING DT has created!!

Hello!!
I'm here to share a Card for the Paper Smooches March Challenge!!
I just LOVE these Monthly Challenges and ALWAYS look forward to seeing what AMAZING Cards are created!! I have used several NEW PS Sets for my Tag today that will be available on March 31st!! You're gonna LOVE LOVE LOVE the New Products!! For even MORE Sneak Peeks, Inspiration and for a chance to WIN visit the Paper Smooches Blog for the April Release Blog Hop!!

I started by Die Cutting the Largest Gift Tags 2 Die Set and then used some Shabby Shutters Distress Ink to create a Background!! I Sprayed it with water and added some Water Splatters for even more Texture!! I then Die Cut the Cozy Coffee Die Set from some White, Kraft and Black Cardstock and Paper Pieced the Die Cut together!! I wanted a SWEET Little Face that matched the Sugar Cookies I made so I used the New Pineapple Crush Stamp Set and Stamped and Embossed the Face!! Then I used the Mini Hearts also in the Set to add some Checks with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxcide Ink and Embossed them too!! I wanted some Texture and Shading on my Coffee Cup so I used a N0 Copic Marker and added the shading on the Coffee Cup!! Next I Stamped and Embossed the New Sentiment from the Pineapple Crush 2 Stamp Set!! SQUEAL!! LOVE it!! I added a Shabby Shutters Seam Binding Bow and my Tag was finished!!

The YUMMY Coffee Cup Sugar Cookies were made with the Sweet Sugarbelle Cookie Cutter Sets by American Crafts and I used Royal Icing to Decorate them!! I wanted a Corrugated Look to the Coffee Cozy so I used an over lapping Line Technique and I LOVE the way it turned out!! Then I added the Faces and the Coffee Cut Lid Details!! I LOVE how the Tag is going to Match PERFECLY with these Cookies to give away to a SWEET Friend!!

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop w/ Paper Smooches!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share a card that I've made for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!
I wanted to use the Sweet Little Coffee and Tea Dies from Paper Smooches!! I die cut them and started to play around with a Layout!!?? I truly had NO IDEA or Direction I was heading in, I just KNEW I wanted to use the Die Cuts!!?? After looking through my other Paper Smooches Dies I decided to Die Cut a Frame 1 Die!! I decided to cut it in half and use it as the Base/Table for my Coffee Mugs!! I then used the Shadows Stamp Set to create a Shadow for the Mugs on the Frame Die Cut using SSS Fog Ink!!  I then die cut a Brick Patterned Paper from the Crate Paper Boys Paper Collection!! I wanted to tone it down alittle, so I die cut a Vellum piece to layer over the top and I LOVE the way it looks!! Then a LightBulb went off!!??  =)  I thought it would be FUN to create a SWEET Little Coffee Mug Couple!! =) Since it is a Spring theme, I thought I'd go for a HAPPY Color Palette!! I used the New Incognito Stamp Set and I stamped and Embossed the Glasses and Face Features!! Then I fussy cut them out!! I used a N0 Copic Marker to add some shading to the Glasses!! I wanted them to be even more dressed up so I stamped a Handsome Little Hat from the Noggin Toppers Stamp Set and then I used the New Baby Bow Die and I die cut a Pretty Floral Patterned Paper for a Bow!! I LOVE the way they turned out, adding just the right finishing touches!!  =) I stamped my sentiment on the Vellum and then heat embossed it using Clear Embossing Powder!! At this point, I thought I was DONE!!?? Something felt like it was missing though!!?? So after thinking about it I decided the Coffee Mugs needed so Steam!! So I took the Flap Happy Stamp Set and stamped two different Trail Images to use as the Steam for my Coffee Mugs!! =) I wanted it to look as though the steam was rising and then forming Hearts!! =) I really LOVE the look!! I stamped them underneath the Vellum panel so they would appear faint just like real Steam!! =) I had to mask the images in orfer to get the look I wanted, but I really like the way it turned out!! I then took a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker and traced over the Trail/Steam Images ontop of the Vellum and I really like the subtle look it adds!! I added a Tiny Heart Die Cut and then I decided to add Wiggly Eyes to the Glasses just to add even MORE FUN to this scene!! The Girl is Winking!! =)

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Paper Sweeties Inspiration #29 Challenge ~ Waiting for Spring & Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! =)

Pin It





Hello!!
I'm here to share the New March Paper Sweeties Inspiration #29 Challenge ~ Waiting for Spring!! I just LOVE the Inspiration Photo and there are SO many ways that you can go using this as your jumping off point!! I thought it would be FUN to combine this Challenge with the New Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! =) I decided to create a Sweet little Coffee Pot Shaker element and then I used some of the New Paper Sweeties Flower Dies to die cut some Felt Flowers to use for my embellishments!! I added some Webster's Pages Lace and then I Stamped and Embossed my sentiment in Ranger Gold Embossing Powder!! I've used the Paper Sweeties Tea Time for Two Bundle, the Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts Die Set, the Sending Sweet Thought Sweet Cuts Die Set and the Party Time Bundle Set!! For the inside of my Shaker I added some of the Sweet Gold Sequins, some 4mm Sequins and Crystal Seed Beads from Pretty Pink Posh!!  I painted my Coffee Pot with some Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint in Tattered Rose!! I inked it up using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink after it was dry and I used a Stitched Circle Die from Lil' Inker Designs to create the Shaker Window in my Coffee Pot!! I wanted to add some stamping to my card base so I used the Trio of Dots Stamp from the Party Time Stamp Set and then used some Gold Paint and Distress Stain to color them in and then used a White Gel Pen to add a High Light mark to each one for even more interest!! I LOVE the way it turned out!!

To see even more AMAZING Inspiration being shared I hope you'll stop by the rest of the Paper Sweeties DT Blogs to see what they have created!! =)
